Adios Harry 1:55, the world's fastest Pacing stallion. owned by J. Howard Lyons, Greenwood. Del- aware. was liarnesa racing's lead- ing money winner in 1950 with earnings of 3129.912. The total is the highest every credited to a pacer for a single season and has only been ceeded by the tint- ter Scott Frost that had a bankroll of 3lN.101 in 1055. The big win for Adios Harry, who was driven in most of his starts by Luther Lyons the owner's son. was the 375.00! Eastern Pacing Champion- ship' at Yonkers Raceway. His season's total wins were ill with 5 seconds and one third in 30 starts. Second place went to Doity's Pick 1:56 3-6, owned by CE, and J.E. Armstrong oi Brampton. 0nt., whose season's winnings were 5101, 142. This is a new record sum for a filly or more and is the first time a member of that sex has won over 8100.000. Dotty'a Pick won the 378,000 American Pacing Class- ie at Hollywood. Calif. some weeks ago and last week won the 325.0!” match rsca against Adios Harry at Yonkers. .

Joe O'- Brien was the only other driver with more than one of the top ten, his being Diamond Hal and Scott Frost. Others than the above men- tioned in the top ten are the trot- tcr Galaphons with 381,528 and Nimble Colby, a 8-year-old trotter with 375.353. !

BEST SINCE WORLD WAR

By JACK SULLIVAN Canadian Press Staff Writer

MELBOURNE (CPI - Swim- ming's equivalent of the miracle mile Friday night provided a set- ting almilar to the Roger Ban- nister-John Landy dual oi II& and a similar result. One man won the race. the other retained possession of the world record. Friday night's record-holder was George Breen of Buffalo, N.Y., who dethroned Australia's Murray Rose by swimming 1,500 metres in 17 minutes, 52.9 seconds in his Olympic qualifying heat last wed- nesdny. "Rose. swimming in an- other heat, was clocked in 18:04.1, W: seconds slower than his pre- vious record time.

But Rose was the master Fri- day. Tha blonds, 17-year-old schoolboy wore Brecn out in the first half of the race and left him a badly baatenthir d behind Tsu- yoshl Yamnnaka of Japan. His winning time of 17:58.9 was sec- ond only to Bush's world mark.

- Far back of the leaders, 16-year- old Bib Sister of Vancouver came up from last place in the eight- man field at the 1.000-metre mark to finish fifth in 18:38.3-alrnost 45 seconds faster than his best time before he came to Australia.

CANADA PLACE!

HUNTERS' CORNER

Can The Rabbit Take It?

The white apecdsiers with the powder puff tails have taken quite a beating this season. The wes- ther for the most part was ideal for this type of sport. The rabbits were white, with the odd excep- tion, and the ground was bare. They had a short respite this week as the swamps and thickets were snow laden and every spruce or fir branch ragged with its white burden. The weekend iliaw will place the bunnies at a serious dis- advantage for another period.

O

The kill on rabbits has been high this season . . . close to dou- ble the take on an average year - and this type of sport is draw- ing more patrons with cach hunt- ing season. It's a stand sport both relaxing and healthful. At times one has to be quick on the trigger especially if standing on a wood road -- a single bound and the white wraith has vanished.

I remember two small. dense swamps with a 50 yard strip of uncut hay and short bushes lying between. Rabbits would cross this No Mule land in nothing flat with bellies to the ground. I have watch- ed one centered with a clean kill roll over and over for fifteen or twenty feet before skidding to a stop.

Rabbit hunting is not nearly so strenuous as the case of Brer Fox. A fox will break sometimes and not stop short of 5 or six miles and a fox hunter has to have a pair of .asoncd logs if be ex- pects to stay with the bounds. Sometimes the fox will come back if started early In the season but later on one has to follow up. On some days one has the choice of getting moving or standing sun and freezing to death.

RABBIT LIMIT?

The question of a daily bag limit on rabbits has arisen this season. This columnist has been approach- ed on the subject and the num- ber suggested is five or six per day but not to exceed the latter number. This week an observer told me he watched a hunter en- ter a swamp of approximately six acres with a pair of beagles The ground was bare and the cover was simply teeming with rabbits. The beagles knew their business and kept them on the move. They were in no special hurry but went their way in a systematic and thorough manner. A good beagle doesn't miss many tricks. This hunter kept his shotgun hot as the shots were pretty continuous all afternoon.

Late in the evening he started to carry his kill to the car. I wu told be bad to make two. maybe

game laws. as rabbits are in the 'expendablei class at the moment. but even the prolific rabbit is not present in numbers to withstand this kind of hunting pressure in- defintely. A few additional rab- bits will wander into this swamp within a week but the cream has been skimmed off this cover un- til next season.

SKY THE LIMIT

The big question at the moment Is: why should a hunter out for sport with his hounds wish to kill two backloads of rabbits unless he was hunting for the market. Rab- bits may be sold in season and are the only species of game which may be legally bought in the market. There was a big agi- tation last year to have the rab- bit seasons open two weeks ear- lier - on the 1st of November Instead of the fifteenth.

one hears rabbit hunters speak at Fish and Game Meetings on the joys of listening to the sweet chim- es of beagles in full cry on the unit but according to my information and observation the sky is the lim- it so far, as some are concerned (not all) and they are not in the least concerned whether or not there is a rabbit left in the cover

morrow or next week.

Rabbit hunting is a sport all of Its own combining healthful excr- cise. its a real conditioner for the nerves and one feels soothed and in a calmer state of mind for the outing. There is also the savoury 'or pot-pic to look forward in with anticipation. Methinks if rabbit hunting as a phase of healthful upon combined with I cutting down on the meat bill some check on the daily kill should be main- tained. we do not wish to see the sport of rabbit hunting develop in- to a Marathon to see who can kill the most.
